The idea that natural disasters are increasing and that it is someone’s fault has been around for tens of thousands of years.
Al Gore and Bill McKibben’s belief system is rooted in ancient witchcraft and superstition. The only difference being that Gore invented the Internet and can reach billions of people.
This is not what the White House wanted for President Barack Obama’s first news conference since winning a second term.
He won’t be able to dwell much on his stronger-than-expected victory or even press his agenda for the next four years. Instead, he’ll be diverted by a Washington sex scandal.
Charles Krauthammer has a more accurate take on the situation
Krauthammer: White House ‘Held Affair Over Petraeus’s Head’ For Favorable Testimony On Benghazi
KRAUTHAMMER: Of course it was being held over Petraeus’s head, and the sword was lowered on Election Day. You don’t have to be a cynic to see that as the ultimate in cynicism. As long as they needed him to give the administration line to quote Bill, everybody was silent. And as soon as the election’s over, as soon as he can be dispensed with, the sword drops and he’s destroyed. I mean, can you imagine what it’s like to be on that pressure and to think it didn’t distort or at least in some way unconsciously influence his testimony? That’s hard to believe.
Experts tell us that October hurricanes in New Jersey are caused by your SUV. I wonder if this also applies to ones in late November?
28 Nov 1950 – U.S. Storm Costs 200 Lives NEW YORK, Nov. 27.
h/t to Ivan
My mother is having major surgery on Friday. She is an amazing woman of advanced years, and has unfortunately suffered numerous medical conditions over the last twenty years . She gave up a very promising career in New York to raise her children in a healthier environment in New Mexico, and never complained once. She is also a survivor of the 1938 New England Hurricane.
Your prayers for her to recover quickly would be greatly appreciated.
Alarmists predicted that “climate change” would cause bad weather, and there has been some bad weather.
Therefore bad weather is due to climate change. How much simpler can it get?
Hurricanes are afraid of taxes, and run away from them.
We should prefer the meaning that conveys the gravity of climate change. All those involved in communicating climate should take a hand in claiming the storm (Sandy) for that narrative. It is, ultimately, immoral not to.
They should claim the 1900 Galveston Hurricane while they are at it.
And the 1780 hurricane
“There should be an investigation not of the personal behavior of General Petraeus and General Allen, but of what surveillance powers the F.B.I. used to look into their private lives,” Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said in an interview. “This is a textbook example of the blurring of lines between the private and the public.”
Petraeus Case Raises Concerns About Americans’ Privacy – NYTimes.com
I haven’t heard any indication that Petraeus did anything wrong. Having sex is not a crime. The whole thing is a smokescreen.

Experts argue global warming’s impact on Sandy’s unusual path to N.J.
It wasn’t supposed to happen. That’s what the weather experts kept saying immediately before, during and after Sandy smacked New Jersey in the face. Not this far north, they said, not in autumn, and certainly not this bad.
New Jersey was hit by a category 2 hurricane in October, 1878
Which is why the global warming finger-pointing that usually begins after a natural disaster, preceded this one. But six weeks before Sandy was even a specter threatening the Caribbean, Rutgers scientist Jennifer Francis — not your normal climate change Cassandra — issued a warning during a teleconference call on global warming.
The melting ice caps, she said, appeared to be tied to recent extreme weather events, especially those occurring in the fall.
Antarctic ice set a record high this autumn – the most sea ice ever measured at either pole.
“It’s probably going to be a very interesting winter,” she said.
I predict that there will be cold, snow and storms this winter, with lots of climate destroying Christmas lights.

Hopefully this also applies to the commander in chief.
Jimmy Carter would be the only Democratic president out of the brig.
